Book excerpt: "In the present volume, Rivero Lake deals with the activities of people from New Spain in Japan and he also describes the reactions to the first Japanese visitors who arrived in Acapulco in ships they themselves had built in their quest for new markets or on their way to the Spanish court and the Holy See. In addition, he shares the opinions of recent, local chroniclers on the possible evidence of their stay." "The book also provides information on schools of painters and artistic and craft techniques in Japan. These were employed in products sent as merchandise in trade strictly controlled by the powerful Consulate of Mexico - the "aniversity of merchants" - or that perhaps had arrived among the belongings of passengers and crew members who faced the dangers of the "return voyage" of the China Galleon to New Spain."--BOOK JACKET.
